I'm not sure that's a distinction that can be uniformly drawn, actually.... certainly not within CSS. Consider, as a basic example, the border, border-style, and border-color shorthands, which expand to overlapping sets of longhands. Also consider that some things which are currently longhands in CSS2/2.1 are effectively shorthands in CSS3 (they expand to a set of finer-grained properties). So I'm not sure that there is anything useful that can be said here other than it being implementation-dependent... (and not necessarily consistent within a given implementation). -Boris
